"Then let rephrase it. I want you to get out of my sight and never appear in front of ever again."
Kanae looked at the sharp glare that Laura gave to her. It was the gaze full of determination and conviction. She was extrely familiar with that gaze as she had seen it in herself for a long ti. Once she made a decision and unwilling to change it again, it was the sa gaze that she would show.
However, when she made that kind of gaze, it was only because she didn’t have any other choice. The path she had chosen was not easy, but she still chose to follow it.
She gazed back at her sister.
"Your wish is my command. I’ll do as you wish, Laura."
The mont Kanae answered, Laura nodded her head calmly. Although her expression looked unperturbed, her gaze was unfocused with slight pain inside her eyes. It was clear that she was doing all she could to look back at her sister.
"Since you’re no longer part of the Nali Family, I’m sure it’ll be easy for you to get out, Sis. Our path should never cross each other anymore," Laura remarked.
Kanae nodded her head. "If it’s what you want, I’ll do it, Laura. Take care of yourself."
"You too, Sis. I don’t want to hear any report regarding the death of an unknown girl on the street."
"I also don’t wish to read the newspaper just to see the sudden downfall of Nali Family Head because of petty sche," Kanae smiled softly. She looked at her sister with her clear eyes. "Those elders are not stupid, but I believe you too."
"Of course," Laura replied almost imdiately.
The two girls looked towards each other’s eyes as if they wanted to engrave the other person’s face to their head. Two pairs of eyes reflected what they truly felt. After an unknown amount of ti, Kanae broke their stare first. She walked to the door and stopped right before it.
"The mansion and the company are all yours. I already changed the ownership to your na and submitted them to the governnt’s office. The legal papers are all in the safe inside your room. The guards that I have selected for you shall be the last gift from . From now on, I won’t ddle into your life anymore," Kanae said unhurriedly.
Her hand gripped the door handle before swinging it open and left the room.
Klek (Sound of door closing)
Right after Kanae walked out of the door, tears poured out of the corner of Laura’s eyes. Her cheek beca wet as the tears continued to pour out of them.
"Stop, please stop," Laura whispered to herself.
She used her hand to wipe her tears, but it continued to fall down like rain. Even the blanket on her lap beca wet because of the tears that poured out of her eyes.
"Don’t cry, it’s your decision, hu...hu...." Laura’s voice beca estranged. Sitting on her bed, tears continued to pour out like a rainfall. No matter what she did, she could not stop them.
The fact that she drove her sister out of her life was enough to send her into imnse sadness. However, it was sothing that she knew that she had to do. Still, it was not easy.
She wouldn’t be able to play with her sister anymore.
She wouldn’t be able to talk with her sister in the future
She wouldn’t even be able to et her sister because their path will not cross.
For Laura, her sister was always an existence that couldn’t be lost from her side. Ever since they were young, it was always her sister that accompanied her, encouraged her, and helped her. The thought of having her sister disappeared from her side never occurred to her.
She knew that they would surely die, but she could never bring herself to think of that possibilities. They always promised each other that they would survive no matter what and never leave each other.
"Uuu..." as the tears continued to fall down, Laura felt all of her feelings ca out. All the sadness, pain, and desperation that she felt just ca out through the tears.
Ti passed by. She still could not fully calm down as the tears continued to pour down. Her face was completely wet from the tears that stread out.
Knock! Knock!
"Laura? Are you there?"
Hearing Jason’s voice, Laura quickly took tissue from the box and wiped her tears. She didn’t want to show this ssy appearance to that man.
"Co in," her voice cracked.
Jason opened the door and saw the ssy appearance of Laura. Even though the girl tried her best to calm down, it was apparent that her effort was for naught. Her eyes and nose were red with tears’ trace left. At the sa ti, the tears were still pouring out like a waterfall.
"It’s okay, Laura," Jason ca over to the girl’s side. He caressed the girl’s head as he tried to console the other party. Kanae had told him to take care of Laura. At first, he didn’t understand, but seeing the girl’s appearance, he ca to understand that sothing must have happened.
"...It’s not... okay," Laura replied while gasping for breath. Crying for a long ti caused her breath to turn uneven.
"If you don’t mind asking, what happened?"
Laura’s eyes welled with tears again. "I can’t et.... with Sis... again."
"Why? She’s outside."
"I can’t," Laura shook her head. "I drive.... her out of my life."
Jason’s eyes widened. "Why would you do that?"
Laura didn’t imdiately answer. She gasped for breath for a few seconds before answering. "Because I’ll always tie her down, my existence alone is enough to make her consider to be the first in her every decision. I.... I don’t want to be a burden. I want her to be happy without worrying about her little sister anymore."
Jason’s movent stilled for a mont. He understood why Laura said that. As soone who had been accompanying Kanae for a long ti, he knew how much that girl cared for her sister. For her sister, she had sacrificed a lot of things, including the love relationship with soone whom she cared about.
Without Laura tying her back, Kanae would surely take the decision to stay with Kevin. However, it was impossible for Kanae to choose him so suddenly. That girl didn’t want to lose her sister and what she had had so far.
Laura understood this very well. This caused her to take the action first and forced her sister to take the other path. Even though this ant that she wouldn’t be able to et with her sister again, she still decided to do it. It was all because she understood, Kanae could only pick one.
The two choices were on completely different pages. It would be completely impossible to pick one while still holding the other one in the other hand.
She had to pick.
And this is her decision.
